The Astrakhan gas processing plant is a major enterprise in Russia’s gas-processing industry and is part of the Gazprom system. Its design capacity is up to 12 billion m³ of gas per year and approximately 7.3 million tonnes of gas condensate per year. The enterprise produces commercial natural gas, stable gas condensate, gasoline, diesel fuel, fuel oil, liquefied hydrocarbon gases, and technical sulfur. The products of the Astrakhan gas processing plant are used to supply Russia’s armed forces, while technical sulfur is used in the production of explosives.
